AI4Rx, the artificial intelligence (AI) powered, high-quality medical care platform for all, has announced the launch of MedBeat HealthConnect, an application that uses AI to get an accurate medical summary of patients’ ailments and symptoms for diagnosis by the medical professionals. This will help bridge the communication gap between patients and doctors.
The MedBeat HealthConnect app is available for download on both PlayStore and AppStore.
Setup in 2019, Mumbai-based startup AI4Rx has worked ceaselessly to create a strong backend of symptoms and diseases by working closely with medical professionals. MedBeat Healthconnect aims to narrow down probable diagnosis by intelligently asking relevant questionnaire, creating medical history for the prescriber, directing and recommending the right specialist along with lab investigations to the patients.
In India, with just one medical doctor for approximately 11,000 population, the patient load is obviously high. In addition, challenges in taking a patient history are also many - Language, Understanding, cultural, psychological, etc. All of these adds to the issues of Patient – Doctor Communication.
The application asks the patient minimum number of questions required for the diagnosis, narrowing down the set of probable diseases in the background. To solve the problem pertaining to language barriers, the platform interacts with the patient in their mother tongue. Utilising this key information, it creates a summary of symptoms and medical history to be presented to the doctor and suggests the right specialist. This summary contains doctor’s technical medical terminology, helping them in quick understanding and reaching the relevant diagnosis.
